Yet another installment of AB Testing (including what I think is a world record for AB Testing release velocity). This episode includes another rant from Alan about dumb things people do at Microsoft, a long tangent on Alan’s music background that has no relevance whatsoever, and some discussion on upcoming public appearances from Brent and […]

In their patented pattern of pure randomness, Alan and Brent talk about the context-driven school of testing, the video music awards, upcoming test conferences, and pointy-haired managers! Errata: Lessons learned…came out in 2001 (not 2003 as Alan guessed on the show). A link to Ioana’s awesome CAST talk is here

Recorded in downtown Bellevue, WA…Alan and Brent talk about a talk – and Alan asks Brent questions from a sample ISTQB test.

Discussions include Agile, Alan’s new job, developer testing, and we go to the mail bag (maaaiilll baaaaaag) for a quick discussion of Tension Metrics.

A trip report from STAR Canada; some discussion of whether or not test is dead (or if being dead is dead), and a trip into the mailbag to talk about monolithic test systems. And Alan fixed the bug that was hiding the media bar on the blog site.

It’s Alan’s 20-year anniversary at Microsoft…and he has a new job. We also talk preview Alan’s talk on A/B (with the slash) testing at Better Software, and attempt to get through some mailbag items without getting too distracted (we failed).

In this episode: Iterative is not Agile, Brent’s version of the penny game, and a short discussion of AB Testing vanity metrics. …and probably other stuff too.

Rants and soapboxes are back. This episode also includes a discussion of central organizations, why they fail, and how they can work. And other fun stuff too.

It’s our twentieth podcast, AND – it’s our one year anniversary show. We talk about logical fallacies, generalists, and a whole lot of other random topics.

In this episode, Alan and Brent talk about dashboards, scorecards, buzzwords, soapboxes, and Alan’s appearance on another podcast. Also included is yet another installment of silly things people do at work to incur the wrath of Alan.
